Charles W. Morris, stimu¬lated by his experience at the experi¬mental art school, the New Bauhausearly this year openly advocated aHumanities II course which wouldhave an art department set up inconnection with it Members of theArt department are quick to agreethat practical artistic expression isnot only invaluable as an aid inunderstanding Art, but as a meansof creative expression for a student.That such a workshop, if set up,could form an important part of aprogram for campus integration isunquestionable. There is an everconstant cry of the overworked stu¬dent, who unable to devote long hoursto such activities as Blackfriars,Mirror, or the Maroon, finds no placein the present activity set up wherehe can, for a few hours a week, be¬come an integral part of a group.If a workshop were to be set up thistype of student, if at all interestedin sketching, modeling or painting, asa form of self expression, could dropin during his spare hours, find friendsamong students who were similarlyplaced, and with M'hom he has acommon artistic interest.* * *Founders of such a workshopshould stress its value to the studentwho does not feel qualified to enteran art class but who would, never¬theless, find pleasure in creative artwork. Students in the division ofHumanities do not find it difficult tofit Art courses into their curriculum,but the rest of the campus, limitedin the number of electives allowedthem, shy away from cour.se8 whereability counts toward a grade. Thisgroup would certainly profit if an artworkshop were established.Although the Art department fac¬ulty has applauded the workshopidea, and have offered their assist¬ance to the project, through long ex¬perience they realize the necessity offinding suitable space for an artworkroom. The department, in theirfreshly painted new quarters inGoodspeed, is overloaded with semi¬nar rooms, but is still, in spite of thenew building, sadly wanting in spacefor either the large lecture classesor the classes of practical applicationof art. At present students wishingto take classes in ceramics, painting,or sculpture work must trudge acrossthe Midway to the decrepit Tempor¬ary Art Building, where the light isgood, but all other facilities are bad.« « *It seems, therefore, that the groupinterested in setting up a workshopmust formally protest the physicalconditions existing in the Art depart¬ment. As soon as the workrooms ofthe department are situated so thatstudents can have easy access tothem, they can set up an experimen¬tal workshop, use the materals of thedepartment and profit by the prox¬imity of the professors. It might benecessary to charge a small workshopmembership fee, to be used for extramaterial, but if the fundamental phy¬sical facilities necessary to conduct asuccessful workshop were here, thebattle to get student participationwould be half won.Reading PeriodThe reading period for the Divisionof the Social Sciences will begin afterclasses meet on Friday of this week.Students will not attend class againuntil May 27, when classes will meetfor two week’s discussion before thequarterly examinations to be givenJune 10 through 14. Celebrate Lovett’s45th Anniversaryon QuadranglesASU Holds Banquet inHutchinson Commons,May 11.To celebrate Robert Morss Lovett’s45th year at the University, the ASUwill hold a banquet on Wednesday,May 11, in Hutchinson Commons.Members of the faculty and othersoutstanding in progressive movementsare compiling a volume of essays,consisting of articles such as ’^Lovettand Socialism,” “Lovett and Prog¬ress.” Contributing addresses and ar¬ticles are James Weber Linn, PercyBoynton, Grace Abbott, Edith FosterFlint, Malcom Sharp, and Paul Doug¬las of the faculty; Charlotte Carrand Mrs. Kenneth Rich of HullHouse; Louis Budenz, editor of theMid-West Daily Record; NormanThomas, Socialist candidate for presi¬dent ; Meyer Levin, author of the“Old Bunch”; and Ira Lattimer, ofthe Civil Liberties Committee.Noted LiberalFor 45 years noted both as the stu¬dents’ friend and a teacher, Lovett’svanguard activities have distinguishedhim as a progressive and liberalfighting for social justice.Although not a member of theparty, Lovett sympathizes with theSocialists (LSI). During the Red in¬vestigation of 1934, he injected hu¬mor into the process of law by ans¬wering questions concerning his yearsof service at the University truthful¬ly but confusingly. Inquired theprosecuting attorney, “How long haveyou been at the University of Chi¬cago, Mr. Lovett?” Mr. Lovett triedvery hard, but couldn’t remember, sothe attorney aided him by suggest¬ing two. “Longer than that,” de¬clared Mr. Lovett“Five?” said the lawyer helpfully.“Longer than that,” answered Lov¬ett “I guess I had better figure itout for you.” So he counted the yearshe had taught and then announcedquietly, “Forty-one.”After the investigation, HowardVincent O’Brien, columnist for theDaily News, devoted an entire col¬umn to praise of Lovett.Cap and Gown Goesto Publisher; IncludesReview of UniversityFeature of the 1938 Cap and Gown,already gone to press in Milwaukee,is a 20,000 word history of the Uni¬versity, complete with two layoutspicturing the University in the timesof Presidents Harper and Hutchins.Based on research by five students,and including old cartoons and en¬gravings from campus publications“way back when,” the history will bea student’s record, stressing partic¬ularly the evolution of student ac¬tivities.The cover of this year’s book willbe the University’s traditional ma¬roon, with the Old English letteringand the seal in white. PublisherHerbert Larson and Editor RobertUpton were in Milwaukee over theweek-end and will return about thefirst of next week to read proof.“An interesting article,” says Up¬ton, “is Bill McNeill’s evaluation ofthe year’s work of the Maroon.”Latest news story in Cap and Gownig Blackfriars, but Echo, Time imi¬tating news reviews, will be open fornews events up to the time of publi¬cation. All Echo cuts this year, ac-/Cording to C. Sharpless Hickman, edi¬tor, will be of campus happenings.Ralph McCallister Talksat Int-House ThursdayRalph McCallister, director of theAdult Education Council of Chicago,a leader in the Chicago Forum, andmember of the Civil Liberties Com¬mittees, wil speak on “Adult Educa¬tion in a World of Propaganda,”Thursday evening at 8:30 in Interna¬tional House.Sponsored by the House’s SocialProblems committee, the lecture isopen to the public. Elect MerriamHead of CampusCongress Group:Swinging into action at its firstmeeting Friday afternoon, the con¬tinuations committee of the CampusCongress (hereafter to be known asthe Campus Congress Committee)elected Bob Merriam and DorothyOverlock as president and secretary.Merriam, a Psi U, is preparing tovisit the various fraternities in aneffort to carry out the resolution ofthe Congress asking for the admis¬sion of Kappa Alpha Psi, Negro fra¬ternity, to the I-F Council.At a meeting at 12:30 today inthe Maroon office, the Committee willelect delegates to the Chicago YouthCongress. Overlock, in accordancewith the decisions of the Congress,has written letters to PresidentRoosevelt, the two Senators from Il¬linois, and the Congressman from thisdistrict recording the Congress’ ap¬proval of extension of NYA aid tostudents and asking the passage ofthe Federal Arts Bill.Departmental clubs about to electtheir officers for the coming year havebeen asked by the Committee toleave the officers’ names in the Ma¬roon office so that the Committee maytry to co-operate with them.The Committee will try to get anappropriation from the Senior ClassGift Fund to carry on its activities.The new National Progressive par¬ty, founded by the LaFollettes withthe backing of the Wisconsin progres¬sives, may have two possible effectsupon the American political scene butwill probably end up by defeating itsown purpose. This is the view heldby Jerome G. Kerwin, professor ofPolitical Science and news commen¬tator over WMAQ.In an interview with the Maroonyesterday, he said he believed theparty was founded in an effort tosave progressivism from the recentconservative policies of PresidentRoosevelt as indicated by his at¬tempts to placate “Big Business,” orfrom a possible reaction against“liberalism” on the part of the coun¬try as a whole. He believes the La¬Follettes are attempting to give thevoters another alternative besidesRoosevelt or the Republican party.Two Possible ProgramsWith a view toward immediatetactics, they may adopt one of twoprograms. They may try to get pub¬lic support for liberal policies andforce Roosevelt into a more progres¬sive program or they may adopt ahostile attitude and attempt to stale¬mate the President’s program. Ifthey were successful, this wouldmean that no more beneficial legisla¬tion could be passed under the pres¬ent administration and the Prog^res-sives in the 1940 campaign couldhave a basis for getting the vote ofthat portion of the population whichsuch legislation in the past has bene¬fited.However, in spite of the attemptFederation Names TenMore Group LeadersMembers of the Federation of Uni¬versity Women who serve automat¬ically as group leaders for freshmenwomen, will name ten more groupleaders Thursday, following the finalmeeting for counselors and candi¬dates for group leaders tomorrow.About 100 women counselors for nextfall are expected to attend the meet¬ing at which Dr. Dudley B. Reed,director of Student Health Service,will talk.Counselors serve as advisers dur¬ing Freshman Week and afterwards,to three or four freshmen women.The work of the counselors is co¬ordinated by the group leaders, whoalso act as counselors to one or twowomen. Harriet Nelson is chairmanof Federation. Present Premiere of“Eternal Mask” TodayIn International HouseFirst important premiere to takeplace at International House in twoyears, “The Eternal Mask” will beshown by the University Film Soci¬ety today at 4:30 and 8:30 P. M.Swiss psychiatrists filmed the Ger¬man talkie which received an inter¬national award as “most unusual mo¬tion picture of 1936.”Dramatic and purely fictional, thefilm was nevertheless requested byChicago physicians and psychiatristsfor its sound medical treatment ofschizophrenia, or split personality.Engli^ sub-titles are more completethan usual.Except for “The Eternal Mask,”admission to all matinee showings bythe Film Society is 35 cents, to eve¬ning showings 50 cents. Prices for“The Eternal Mask” are 50 cents inthe afternoon and 75 cents in the eve¬ning. Residents of InternationalHouse, however, may go afternoon orevening for 50 cents.During the showing of the threesilent films, Raymond Ericson willagain play a piano accompaniment.of the backers of his group to pushthe cause of progressivism, Kerwinthinks that they may in the end havethe effect of pushing the countryeven more quickly back into a con¬servative “tried and true” program.Indications have been that certainsections of the country, discouragedby the recent recession have alreadydeveloped an antipathy toward any“liberalism” and this party may bejust one more excuse for scurryingto cover.English DepartmentAnnounces Optionsin Related FieldsStudents taking their Bachelor’sdegrees in English this quarter havethree different ways of treating theirrelated fields, depending on the timethey entered the department. UntilAutumn, 1936, the English depart¬ment was unique in requiring no re¬lated field examinations. Thus, stu¬dents who achieved departmental sta¬tus before that date will not have tooffer credit in any related work.Since Autumn, 1936, however, stu¬dents entering the English depart¬ment have been required to pass anexamination in a related subject. InFebruary of this year, the Divisionof the Humanities announced thatcredits in three related courses wouldbe accepted in place of an examina¬tion. Although this rule will not gointo effect before next fall, the Eng¬lish department decided to make itretroactive if desired.In this way the department is act¬ing consistently with its policy of al¬lowing students to complete theirprograms under the system announcedin the catalogue when they enteredthe department.Business Office FallsPrey to Pulse SurveyorSpotlighted in the next issue ofPulse, on sale Thursday, is a surveyof the business functions of the Uni¬versity. Discussing B and G, budgets,the Commons, and the Bookstore, edi¬tors (for this issue) Bill Work andHank Grossman will try to throwlight on the vexed problems of whyprices are so high and whether or notthe University is making a profit.Also featured in the forthcomingcopy are preview pictures of Black¬friars, a story on the Peace Strike,and an article on the University sym¬phony and campus musicians. Empty Bill-Fold Points toRobbery as Motive forKilling.Victim of a mysterious assault,Paul Maclean, 32-year-old Universitypublicity writer and brother of Eng-1 i s h instructor Norman Macleandied yesterday afternoon at the Wood-lawn hospital without regaining con¬sciousness.He was found early yesterdaymorning in the alley between Eber-hart and Rhodes avenue, bounded by62nd and 63rd streets, with a frac¬tured skull and body and face bruisesindicating that he struggled againsthis as yet unknown assailant.An empty bill-fold found six feetfrom the body indicated that the mo¬tive was probably robbery althoughthree dollars in his trousers pockethad been overlooked by the thief.Find Rent SlipContrary to metropolitan paper re¬ports, he was wearing his ownclothes and was subsequently identi¬fied by the rent slip found in hispocket.Friends surmised that he had eitherbeen drawn into the alley or trans¬ported by car and dumped there.Funeral services will be held inMissoula, Montana, the home of hisparents. The inquest is scheduled forthis morning at 9:30.Maclean, a husky five foot, sevenindividual, played football at Dart¬mouth where he graduated in 1928.Following his graduation he workedas a political reporter for the HelenaIndependent in Montana’s statecapital, then in March of 1937 cameto the University to take over dutiesas a member of the publicity depart¬ment.Wallace, CampbellRun in DA ElectionThe Dramatic Association electionswill be held in the Reynolds clubtheatre on Thursday of this week,May 5, from 12 until 4.

In his column, Brubakercommented that “Dr. Jacob Viner.has resigned from the Treasury De¬partment because he didn’t like theway things were going. We see whathe means—going out instead of in.”Viner could not be contacted yes¬terday for a definite statement of hisreasons for resigning.Kerwin Predicts Progressive PartyWill Probably Defeat Own EndsPage Two THE DAILY MAROON, TX^I^AY, MAY 3, 1938PLATFORM1. Creation of a vigorous campus community*2. Abolition of intercollegiate athletics.3. Progressive politics.4. Revision of the College Plan.5. A chastened president.Death Comes to the CampusSunday night there was a vigorous hot-headed manwalking down an alley on the south side of the Mid¬way. Today there is a body making ready for a tripto Montana and burial. A crushed skull makes thedifference.Paul Maclean was a “good guy" to all that knewhim. He it was who ground out the publicity office re¬leases on athletics. He was a handball player of parts,a former footballer. Apparently he didn’t believe inrelinquishing his property when asked to. He spenta lonely night in an alley as a result.It takes an event like this to pierce even for a mo¬ment the thin, strong film that separates the Universityfrom the city, from the harsh, cruel, poor city that liesaround it. Though few students realize it the areadirectly south of the University beyond 63rd has thehighest homicide rate in the city. Yet the invisiblelines of social convention no less than the near invisiblecampus police strangely insulate the University fromthat turbulent world south of 63rd.Murder that you may eat, murder that you maydrink and drown self consciousness, murder that youmay satisfy the lusts of the flesh is to most membersof the University community a tale to be told, not areality to be lived. Let us tell that tale.* * *Want, hard want, and a man whistling down thealley. Want, bitter want and a heavy bar at hand.Want, want, want, and anger at his sleekness. Want,want, and fear at his approach, fear at the approach¬ing deed. And again want, want, want.Want, a man, a challenge, a blow and counter blow,the crack of a skull, and a man has become a body.(So simply is life ended.) And another man has be¬come a beast, non-social, unbound by convention, yetslave of his cruel remorseless wants, a' murderer.The world goes on, scarce regarding. A few recoilat the reminder of the ease with which a life is snapped,of the chance that guides men’s feet to death myster¬iously. Many shudder to think that they may have asimilar appointment with death tomorrow, or next hour.A few molecules disintegrate or change their relation.A few feel a deep rent in their habits. The newspapersrecord another mystery murder.We do not know the world where these things hap¬pen. We do not know the want that brings men to roband murder. We do not know the chaos of custom thatpermits a man to take another’s life. We do not knowthe blindness of conflict to the death that made thismurder. We can only dimly surmise, cloudily shadow itforth in our imaginations.* * *For the silver thread is severed, and the golden bowlia broken, and the jar is shattered at the spring, andthe wheel is broken at the cistern, and the. dust is re¬turned to the earth as it was and the spirit is dissolved.For the man is dead, and we shy at the reminder of ourown mortality.An Assetwhich does not appear in any University ac¬count book, nor will ever be acknowledged in the Presi¬dent’s report at convocation, is the Education sectionof Time Magazine. Last week out of four columns,stories about education the University occupied two anda half. Thurstone’s mind factors and Hutchins’ debatewith Melby were stories that “made’’ Time. And it wasDave Eisendrath’s picture of the debate which adornedone of the columns. Indeed, throughout the year ithas been an event when the University was not men¬tioned in the current issue of Time.The asset is a new one. No such trumpeting metUniversity activity in former years. The reason is ournew vice-president, expert in public relations, and fel-Jow classmate of Luce, the power behind Time, Life and Fortune. But how Mr. Benton works is hidden.That the publicity is a powerful asset is confirmedby the evangelists from the dean’s office who have re¬cently gone forth over the land on their annual missionto tell high school seniors about the University. Theyreport that the Saturday Evening Post and other ar¬ticles are often referred to by prospective students,as the thing that first interested them in the Univer¬sity. Applications are well above last year’s in num¬ber. By consequence ?ArsenicANDAPPLESAUCEBy NED ROSENHEIMTONSORIAL TOPICSAt infrequent intervals the eyes of the campus areraised from the individual occupations which rangefrom St. Augustine to beer glasses and come to rest,collectively, on one person. Such a rare occasion willbe next Friday noon; the place, the circle; the person,Elmer N. BradWd, better known as “Brad;’’ the event,the mustache race.And since Brad is scheduled to be the big attrac¬tion it is about him that we would tell you this fineMay morning. Next Monday, three days after his al-most certain immersion in the botany pond. Brad willattain the ripe age of thirty. He told us this in thecoffee shop where he was having his lunch (soup, let¬tuce and tomato sandwich and large coke) and addedseveral other things we think might interest you.He has two children, both girls. Their names areKay, who is three years old and Joy, who was bornjust one month ago. The Bradford family lives outin Chesterfield, on 89th street.Brad used to work in the Gas Building where hebarbered a good many University men. In 1930 theysuggested that he take over the Reynolds club shop,which he did. The first year, however, he was prettyleary about judging the mustache contest, so he askedone of the other men to do it. Since that time how-evei^, he’s been handling it himself, and doing a finejob.In the old days. Brad tells us, they used to givereal china mustache cups. But in the last eight ornine years these have become museum pieces and veryrare, so that now they give away miniature silverloving cups to the winner, who also has his name en¬graved on the plaque in the Reynolds club barber shop.In recent years the boys have developed a rathernasty habit of tossing the judge in the Botany Pondalong with every body else. So Brad takes his positionin old clothes now. He still can’t understand why theypick on him, of all people.MUSIC IN THE NIGHTThe girls who live in Kelly, Foster, Beecher andGreen don’t have to be told about the little nocturnalconcert which occurred last Friday night. To the restof you suffice it to say that music of unbelievable vol¬ume, variety and visciousness was rendered on that par¬ticular evening between 12:30 and 1 A.M. to an un¬appreciative audience in the women’s dormitories.We were able to find out the why’s and where¬fore’s, although not the who’s. It all grew out of theannual spring concert which was held that night.After an evening of Wagner and Kohs compositionsa few of the boys were pretty thirsty and so acted ac¬cordingly. Urged on by the demon rum, four ofthem assembled in back of the Law School and, shak¬ing off the classical aura, proceeded to swing out forthe ladies. The most startling thing to us was howa 'trombone, trumpet, tuba, and Sousaphone couldmanage to make such a heck of a lot of noise.SOCIALNot being much of a name spotter we aren’t go¬ing to tell you who was at the Quadrangler, MortarBoard and Sigma parties Friday, Saturday, and Sun¬day nights respectively. They were both highly suc¬cessful, and are the probable reason why so manypeople looked tired but contented yesterday.Letters to theEditorEditor,The Daily Maroon:It is true that Chicago gets fewtop-ranking shows complete withNew York casts. Everything shouldbe done to encourage producers tobrave the city and the musicians un¬ion. But that is no excuse for the“Star Wagon” review of Wednesday’sMaroon. Our local newspapers willnever drive shows away with Gideon-sonian “vitriolic” criticism. Mr. Tiger,why did you pull your blows? I findit difficult to believe that a man ofyour vocabulary thought “ ‘Star-Wagon’ our most fruitful theatricaltradition.” How—why did you let Mr.Anderson sneak by with such a thirdact?The Maroon should maintain highcritical standards in every field asyour sheet is, I am afraid, responsiblefor the shaping of some studentopinion. Mr. Tiger, you have let usdown on two scores.1. Misinterpreting the two points onwhich “Star-Wagon” skids. Stephendoes not overwhelm his love forMartha. Hansa tinkers with the ma¬ chine and behold! we find unknownqualities in this practical manifesta¬tion of the fourth dimension. SuddenlyAnderson’s vehicle forces people to dowhat they thought should be done be¬fore they took their spin. Secondly,the characters are not pleased withthe conditions as they were beforethe ride. They are satisfied with theirnew lives. Mr. Anderson’s moral be-happy-with-what-you-have-got fallsflat since his characters are findingcontentment in totally different lives.Each one is doing the fine thing onthe strength of an Einsteinian dream.They’ve learned what’s good and nobleafter living an extra life or so. EvenWhitney could have done that.2. Not warning your readers of thethird act. The first two acts wereworthy of any and all praise. Andthat’s what makes the third act suchan atrocity. The sentimental slobwhich Anderson dishes out is alto¬gether jarring. Mr. Tiger, I thinkyou should not only warn your readersof the said act but give them a pro¬gram of protest. We are strike-minded these days—perhaps the solu¬tion would be a mass exit on the thirdact. Mr. Anderson should not believethat we condone his marrying theIvory Tower to the Red Square onlyto bring forth a Balaban & Katztheatre.Charlotte Fehiman. Today on theQuadranglesYWCA.

Cohen Discusses '^Relation ofLogic to Statistics and Probability 99By ALICE MEYERWith his audience utilizing allavailable fioor and window space,Morris Cohen, professor of Philoso¬phy, continued his series of lectureson recent trends of logic yesterday inthe Social Science assembly room,speaking on “The Relation of Logic *to Statistics and Probability,’’ hefound-that statistical methods cannotgive us a priori deductions aboutprobability. “It is a virtue of logic,”he said, “to show us that we mustnot pretend to a greater knowledgeof nature than we have.”Early Greek science, Cohen stated,had as its essence the determinationof principles from which deductionswere made. Resting on authority,these unquestioned principles wereconsidered self evident. Today thoughwe want more rigour, we are Inclinedto extend this mathematical methodto dynamics and the social sciences,he said. “If we believe social sciencesdetermined by laws, we are ‘scienti¬fic’: if we lack this faith we are notscientific.” But now, Cohen continued,the principle of indeterminism innature has led to some doubt aboutthe adequacy of this approach.Pointing out that our .standard ofthe reasonable for historical fact issocial—that of a prudent businessman, he added that we need a higherdegree of certainty for science. “Whenwhat we know is incomplete, some¬thing ‘proved beyond a reasonabledoubt’ means only that we call thedoubter unreasonable!” As in thecase of history, we have discoveredrecently that the results of naturalphilosophy arc only probable.Since the law of large numbers istrue only of those groups that con¬form to it, Cohen thinks that logiciansshould question evidence for thea priori assumption that all biologi¬cal phenomena will necessarily con-Individuol HairdressingShampoo and Wovo .50Monicuro 55KAMERIE BEAUTY SHOP1324 EAST 57lh ST.

To do this, he thinks, wemust first clear up our confused ter¬minology. “It is the beginning of wis¬dom to recognize that we cannotspeak of probability as a characteris¬tic of evidence in itself; rather womust be aware of it as the relativefrequency of events in compari.-^onwith a larger class.” Thus the statement that a body is at rest or in motion has no meaning except in relation to something else. Since probability varies with the amount of evidence, tests made by the statisticalmethod are limited in number andnot conclusive. “Attempts to use thi<»method to prove phenomena of natureare a mistake.”Yet, Cohen said, it is hard to con¬vince people that probabilities can¬not be deduced a priori. Basing theirnotion on subjective belief, somewriters are inclined to say that, whenthere is no evidence, probability is onehalf. Others, more nearly scientific,assume that with a certain ratio, theycan predict certain variations, as inbiology. They should not forget, how¬ever, that if certain unknown causescease operating different variationswill occur. Thus “a correlation doesnot necessarily establish a causal re¬lationship.”4 MONTH INTENSIVE COURSEroi COilfOl tTUOINTt AND ORAOUATItmoser• USINESS COLLEGErAtti MoaiR. xa.fN.a.IM t.

Taliaferro, Dean of theI)i^'ision of the Biological Sciences.Dr. Weir, an interne in the Uni¬versity of Chicago Clinics since Jan¬uary, received his S.B. at the Univer¬sity of Chicago in 1933 and his M.D.and Ph.D. degrees there in 1937. Lastyear, he was an assistant professorof anatomy at the University of Mis-.xi.ssippi.The Ricketts prize was establishedin 1913 to honor Dr. Howard TaylorRicketts, University of Chicago bac¬teriologist who discovered the typhusgerm and died a martyr to his dis¬covery in Mexico. Awarded annuallyon May 3, anniversary of Dr. Rick¬etts’ death in 1910, the prize is givento a student in the departments ofpathology or 1/acteriology for notableresearch.Dr. Weir’s work on the vascularprocesses in the Shwartzman phe¬nomenon as observed in pulmonaryreactions have a bearing on the gen¬eral problem of injuries to blood ves¬sels throughout the body and henceon such degenerative di.seases ashardening of the arteries and chronickidney diseases, Dr. Taliaferro said.The Shwartzman phenomenon, heexplained, is a tissue reaction whichfacilitates measuring the effects ofbacterial action.Dr. Weir demon.strated that whenthe Shwartzman phenomenon is pro¬duced in the lungs of experimentalanimals the main effect was in theblood vessels. He showed that theos.sential reaction in the lungs is aninjury to the blood ves.sel8 wherebyblood clots form within them and thuslead to more serious damage, makingthe lung more susceptible to chanceinfections. William Shepherd, Ex-Lunatic of“Dracula, ” Now Produces FriarsChoose Committeefor Reynolds ClubRobert Eckhouse, chairman of theStudent Social Committee and incharge of arrangements for the or¬ganization of the Reynolds Club, yes¬terday reminded all University meninterested in acting on the sub-com¬mittee in charge of effecting the or¬ganization that they should have astatement of what they would liketo see made of the club in the handsof director Howard Mort by Thursdaynoon. On the basis of these state¬ments and personal interviews, menwill be chosen by a committee com¬posed of Eckhouse, Mort, and DeanLeon P. Smith.After receiving the endorsement ofthe Campus Congress, the plan fororganizing the Reynolds Club wasinitiated at a meeting of Universitymen last week. Broadway first saw William S.Shepherd, Blackfriar’s producer, as alunatic with a peculiar appetite forflies. This was in 1926 when he playedthe part of Renfrew, in “Dracula,”the title role of which was taken byBela Lugosi.

Exhibits onthe second floor of the new sectionare devoted to an exposition of bodystructure and physiology.Holding the spotlight position a-mong the biology exhibits is theTransparent Woman, only one of herkind in the world. With a celluloidbody and colored internal organsbuilt about a human skeleton, shestands upon a rostrum in the apexof a semi-circular gallery, and, whilea guide explains body functions, herinternal organs are illuminated oneat a time, illustrating their positionand size.To the left of the celluloid Venus isan exhibit showing cell organization,the successive steps in cell divisionand multiplication, and the develop¬ment of the human embryo, withgrowth of body parts made visible.Upon the gallery which she faces isa relief bust of Hippocrates, father ofmedicine, his Oath, and a number ofcases depicting the various branchesof medical study. In a case nearby isa completely disected human skeleton,each ^ne clearly labeled.Biggest attraction in the next roomis the plaster cast series showing suc¬cessive steps in an appendix opera¬tion, from the first incision to finalstitching. In a nearby case a numberof pop-eyed, large-necked flap-earedplaster busts illustrate diseases of thethyroid glands, showing results ofcretinism, hyper-thyroidism and hy-po.thyroidism. Jacoby Survey Reveals Retail Sales TaxesProduce 500 MiUion Dollars per Year RevenueUnder the direction of Neil Jacobyof the department of Economics, asurvey is rapidly nearing completionwhich will afford legislators andothers interested in fiscal policy avivid picture of the operation and ef¬fect of the state sales tax.The survey has been made in all 23states where retail sales taxes overone per cent are in operation and inNew York City and in Philadelphiawhich have special sales taxes, thatin the latter city having been passedover the mayor’s veto just recently.Preliminary data reveal that the gen¬eral retail sales tax is now a sourceof one-half billion dollars a year rev¬enue and comprises the second larg¬est source of state income. The larg¬est amount comes from the state gas¬oline taxes.Burden on Poorer ClassesThe main burden of the tax in theconsumer’s group is borne by thelower inepme groups w'ho must spenda larger per cent of their income forstaples such as form the main taxableitems in the tax levy.The administration of the tax hasin turn forced a large cost of ac¬counting upon the retailer and alsoback onto the state itself. JacobyEstimates that there are about 300million sales tax tokens in circula¬tion in the 12 states which have madespecial provision for their creation.In conjunction with the Illinois Fed¬eral Retailer’s Association he has conducted a survey of the cost ofadministering the tax and has foundthat under the best conditions it willrun as high as five per cent of thetotal revenue and under poorer condi¬tions sometimes eats up 10 per centand more of the gross receipts.Started in 1931Jacoby started the work on thissurvey in 1931 while doing graduatework here. In 1933 he supervisedthe legal and Reserve Division of theIllinois Department of Finance whichIhad charge of administering the tax.'The initial draft of the survey wasmade in 1935 but wag not publishedpending the accumulation of moredatq. •li*TENNISRackets $1.50 to $17.50Bolls.

Notre Dame Winsfrom Maroons byShut Out ScoreNotre Dame shut out the Maroondiamond squad, 5-0, Saturday, Chi¬cago failing to make a single hit. Theteam drove out eight sharply hitballs in the first three innings butall went to the second baseman andafter that the boys couldn’t do much.Notre Dame made ten hits off BobReynolds, partly because they wereluckier in placing the ball, making sev¬eral fielder’s choices. Two of their menmade first on balls which went intothe ground in front of the pitcherand bounced over him. Mundjiakpitched the no hit game for them.Coach Kyle Anderson said that theteam was not discouraged and thatthey expected to do better in theirBig Ten game with Purdue Saturday.Although this was the second defeatat the hands of the Irish, the Ma¬roons have already hung up two con¬ference wins at the expense of Wis¬consin and are charging the NotreDame defeats up to hard-luck, asthey prepare for the Boilermakercontest.If the team continues to play as itdid against the Badgers, there isevery indication that they will finishin the first division of the conference.Announce First Roundof Reading ContestPreliminaries in the Florence JamesAdams prize for reading will be heldnext Tuesday in the Reynolds clubtheatre at 4.

I-M ResultsThe championship of the Deltaleague was decided yesterday whenthe Phi Psi ‘A’ team defeated DeltaKappa Epsilon six to two in a wellplayed ball game. Since the first andsecond place winners of each leagueenter the playoffs for the fraternitychampionship, both teams are stilleligible to win the finals.The Phi Psi’s looked very strong inthe field, and hit consistently, scoringin all but one inning. The Dekes onthe other hand showed very littlepower at the plate.In the playoffs starting either latethis week or early next week theteams that will be the toughest tobeat are Phi Sigma Delta ‘A’, Psi Up-silon *A’, and Phi Kappa Psi ‘A’.1-M GAMES TODAY3:15 Kalazars vs. Jailbirds3:15 Minyans vs. Delta Sigma Pi3:15 Delta Upsilon vs. Phi KappaSigma4:15 Phi Delta Theta vs. winnerof Phi Kap game4:15 K 9’s vs. Snell Hall4:15 C.T.S. vs. Lambda GammaPhiRichard Raney, Phi Kappa Sigma,took first place in the intramuralpitch-put tournament which endedFriday.

Ihave to walk down stairs one at atime . . . you’ll love it ... I can doit now, but I couldn’t when I started. . . wait till you see the costumes!”Such are the familiar remarks issuingfrom Marion Van Tuyl’s daily classesin modern dancing. Enthusiasm waxesin a skillfully executed exercise classwhere movements are made, not tothe grim chant of “Left-right, left-right” but to eerie discords poundedout rhythmically on the nearby pianoOlder students bring in new recruitswho quickly become disciples of MissVan 'Tuyl’s theories of the dance.Lessons are not easy. First weekclasses without exception are ac¬companied by the aches and pains ofa vanishing stiffness. Van Tuyl de¬mands steady attendance, and sur¬prisingly enough gets it. The begin-Maroons Unsuccessfulin Penn, Drake RelaysPowell, running in the first 220-yd.heat of the Penn medley relay, Satur¬day, found himself boxed in, and hadto drop from hig third place positionin an attempt to pass the leaders.The lead was never regained and theMaroons lost their only chance ofplacing in the meet. In the Drakerelays, held the same day, Casselstied for second place in the pole vault,at 13 feet.In the mile relay, though the Ma¬roons took second place in their qual¬ifying heat, the time was too slowto put them in the finals. In themedley relay, Halcrow, starting outwell, took third position and held it.Powell took the baton but near theend of his quarter had to drop fromthird to sixth position to avoid atangle. Davenport and Webster wereunable to pick up any ground in the220 and 880. Wasem, at Drake, camein eleventh in the javelin throw. CASTLEMANner’s class which meets TuesdayWednesday, Thursday, and Friday at2:30 attracts the daily presence ofmore than 20 girls. In addition, thereis a beginning class in dance com¬position which meets Mondays at1:30, and an advanced class in dancetechnique meeting every day at 1:30.Interest in CoursesInterest in the courses is stimulatedby many factors. Few are interestedin taking off weight, but some pro¬fess the belief that the exercises willmake them more graceful, give thembetter posture, or strengthen flatfeet. Others are truly interested inthe theory behind modem dance,which demands a technique that will'express the fears, hopes and sorrowsof today’s people in a style that makescomplete use of three-dimensionalspace. Two or three of the studentshave chosen dancing as their vocation.But the great majority are entrancedby Miss Van Tuyl’s vibrant andcharming personality, which is incomplete contrast to the uninterest¬ing, impersonal, boyish-haircuttedgym teacher of tradition.Hold YWCA MayDay Lunch TodayYWCA’s May Day Luncheon, whichwill be held on the second floor ofIda Noyes from 11:30 to 1:30 today,is the first such luncheon. Over 100girls are expected to be present whenlunch is served on tables decoratedwith green maypoles and streamers.Tickets are on sale at the door for35 cents.Betty Ahlquist is general chairmanof the luncheon, Marjorie Gintz de¬vised the decorations, and CarolineGrabo made up the menu.
